00:00Welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening.
00:03Today is the second day, 24-8-2026, 24-4-2026, and also it's the 11th of Rabi al-Awal.
00:15A very strange phenomenon happened last night in Algeria, specifically near the capital,
00:23Algiers. And I think it happened in the city of Zeralda, or the municipality of Zeralda.
00:32The municipality of Zeralda is located west of the Algerian capital, Algiers. And this
00:39municipality overlooks the Mediterranean Sea directly. Honestly, there was some very strange
00:47behavior from the fish, and I think the type of fish was sardines. The fishermen were
00:53surprised. And the residents who were present on the beaches of Zeralda were surprised yesterday
01:01evening, Monday, when huge quantities of fish, most likely sardines, rushed toward the shore.
01:09I'll show you some clips and some videos so you can see them on the screen in front of you.
01:17These fish, the sardines, were jumping out of the water and leaping toward the shore in very large
01:24numbers. Yeah, I don't know if anyone is watching us. If you're watching us from Zeralda,
01:29write to us in the comments. And I hope the people in the capital, Algeria, or in general, the Algerian
01:39cities that are located in northern Algeria, and directly overlook the Mediterranean coast.
01:48And even in Morocco, if anyone has experienced or seen, or even in Tunisia, such a phenomenon,
01:54please write to us in the comments. But so far, as far as I know, it has only been documented
02:01in the
02:02city of Zeralda. But now there are several questions. What is the real reason behind these
02:09large numbers of sardines rushing toward the shore? And apparently, they were either in a state of panic
02:17or in a trance. There are several possibilities, and I will go through them one by one.
02:24The first possibility is that it might be running away from something like large predators, so it
02:31escapes from them. The second possibility could be due to the rising temperature of the Mediterranean
02:38Sea. So these sardines move to a place with a lower temperature and head toward the shore.
02:47So it could be, yes, or maybe it's going to look for food. Either it's looking for food and can't
02:54find
02:54any, so it has to move forward and search for food. Or the temperature is rising, or it's running away
03:02from something. What could that be? Maybe it's escaping from something it fears, from something that wants
03:08to prey on it, or eat it, and it's not able to handle it. Okay? Could it be fleeing an
03:15earthquake?
03:18Is it possible that it sensed the danger of a specific earthquake, or a certain tremor?
03:25Could it hit Algeria or near Israelda? History gives us the answer to this.
03:33Is there any historical precedence for this matter? Yes, there were in the Philippines and Japan
03:42before in the past, if I remember correctly, sometimes before strong earthquakes hit.
03:50This phenomenon happened once in the Philippines and once in Japan, but I can't remember which year.
03:57Also, the residents of the Japanese coasts and even the coasts in the Philippines
04:02were surprised by large numbers of sea fish rushing toward the shore.
04:07And after that, a strong earthquake happened. I don't remember its exact magnitude, but it was very strong.
04:13I mean, more than six on the Richter scale.
04:17So, in fact, there are precedents for this matter.
04:23Does this mean that we might be facing an earthquake that could hit Algeria?
04:27It's possible, but it's not a certain possibility.
04:32Zeralda, specifically the city of Zeralda, is located very close to the seismic fault line
04:39that passes through North Africa in the Mediterranean Sea.
04:43In fact, there is a seismic fault line very close to Zeralda. Zeralda is located there.
04:53In fact, I want to emphasize what matters to me is whether an earthquake will strike Algeria.
04:59This depends on your comments, so please let us know, because this is a very important topic.
05:06Has this thing been noticed in areas other than Zeralda?
05:10Cities, villages, or towns near Zeralda, or even in the Algerian capital, Algiers?
05:17Have you witnessed this thing? Please answer me by writing in the comments.
05:23Have you noticed the same thing with fish other than sardines?
05:27Number two, have you noticed any strange behavior of birds on the coasts of the city,
05:34Zeralda, or other cities, Algeria? Whether it was day or last night,
05:39are there any strange behaviors among the birds? Are there any strange behaviors among other animals?
05:45If so, which animals? Dogs or cats? And have you noticed a dangerous rise in sea waves on the Algerian
05:56coasts?
06:00Also, write to us, the important thing is, are our people in Zeralda and in the nearby cities feeling
06:09busy? Are they experiencing ringing in their ears? Are some people experiencing ringing in their ears?
06:17Are some people feeling busy or unbalanced?
06:20Also, write to us in the comments, but has this phenomenon ever happened before?
06:26Yes, in Zeralda itself, I remember in August, the same month, August 2025, the same thing happened in Zeralda,
06:36but the amount was less. They saw big fish approaching the shore, they saw sardines approaching the shore,
06:44but not in this quantity. This scene today is unusual. Yes, it happened last year in August,
06:50but not in this quantity. Maybe. Hello? The people who are also in Zeralda now confirmed to us that this
07:00also happened in 20 and 25, and they confirmed to me, as far as they remember, because they remember
07:05the time. We talked about this topic in an episode, but it wasn't this intense. The density, as far as
07:12I remember, wasn't like this. Yes, the fish incident happened, but not in these large numbers.
07:17Yes, and this fear that we saw in the video clip, and the way the sardines were behaving.
07:25But this does not confirm or prove that there will be an earthquake hitting Algeria, a very strong
07:33earthquake hitting Algeria, or maybe not Algeria, maybe the Mediterranean Sea itself, especially since
07:39we know that Spain is there, and southern Spain. Granada experienced a storm and a swarm of earthquakes,
07:46two or three days ago. Maybe this large earthquake swarmed near Granada, and you know Granada overlooks
07:51the southern Mediterranean Sea. Also, it caused fear among these fish, so they rushed toward the
07:57shore. Anything is possible. That's why, if you remember, I said during the episode, let us know,
08:04was this only in Zeralda, or elsewhere too? I'm waiting for your comments, please. If it was positive,
08:11I was with you. Ahmed Al-Daraji, a well-known name, an old program. Thank you.
